Battle at The U: Miami safety Deon Bush could push Antrel Rolle

A few thoughts on the second of the Bears’ three fourth-round selections. Chicago took Miami safety Deon Bush at No. 124.

My take: This pick makes sense. In a perfect world, the Bears pair a young strong safety with 2015 fifth-round pick Adrian Amos, who made 16 starts as a rookie. Veteran Antrel Rolle (another Miami product) is 34 years old and dealt with a bunch of injuries last year. Rolle wants to play in 2016, but Chicago has to be ready in case Rolle falters again. Bush is a hard-hitter. He is built to play in-the-box - 168 tackles and nine forced fumbles at Miami.
